.. The Mediterranean islands of Malta and Gozo have been ruled by Phoenician, Byzantine and Roman aristocrats, before passing to various European monarchies. Foreign monarchical rule over Malta lasted a total of 874 years. The Crown of Malta was "patriated" for the first time in 1964, with the achievement of Independence. The history, languages and culture of Malta and Sicily share many key events, including occupation by the Fatimids and liberation by Roger I of Sicily in 1090. The islands parted ways in a decisive and permanent manner in 1799, when Malta became a British Crown colony. British rule over Malta lasted 165 years and for a further 10 years, Malta remained a Commonwealth realm. Malta adopted a Republican constitution in 1974 and joined the European Union on 1 May 2004.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The History of the European Union – 2000-today )〕 ==Kingdom of Sicily and County of Malta== (詳細はMaltese Islands were a non-autonomous part of the Kingdom of Sicily and thus had the same sovereign. At this time the Nobility of Malta resided in or around Mdina. A strong cultural (and, to a lesser extent, political) connection to Sicily survived from 1530 to 1798 throughout the 268-year rule over Malta by the Knights Hospitaller. In terms of the regional divisions of the islands, Malta Island was part the ''Valle di Mazzara'' province, Gozo was part of the ''Valle di Demona'' province and Comino was part of the ''Valle di Noto'' province. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of monarchs of Malta」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
